During my freshman year of high school I received a letter in the mail. This letter was an invitation to play basketball in Australia‚ with other boys and girls of my age. The date was September 13‚ 2011. The letter stated that we would be leaving June 1‚ of 2012. Of course I wanted to go as soon as I read the letter‚ but my family was more curious about the trip. We did some research and figured out everything that would be offered on this trip. In my research I read of playing Australian basketball

never passed. In kindergarten‚ I adored having Kristen in my class; that didn’t last long at all unfortunately. As sisters‚ we were like two peas in a pod‚ always by each others side. I remember one day‚ the teacher told the class to do a worksheet. I sat right next to Kristen in class‚ so we helped each other with our work.

The race was a long race going around a track‚ through a trail and then doubling back.

unrealistic. In middle school‚ I naively assumed that I would be in top 12% of my class‚ by simply making A’s. I tried my hardest in every classes‚ but still wasn’t enough. I never reached my goal of being in top 12%‚ as a result my self-esteem plummeted. I started high school with high hopes once again. Perhaps even more naively‚ I pursued the goal of being ranked number one. I was too young to realize the concept of “realistic” goals. My biggest obstacle was my state of mind.

graduation coming up‚ my biggest fears came true. I am a band kid‚ a person who gets close to others fast‚ and makes friends after only a few words with them.

As several years past by‚ I realized they made one of the best decisions ever because if I hadn’t moved‚ I would’ve have never found the hidden gem called St. Petersburg Collegiate High School.

In high school I held several positions with crucial responsibilities. During my senior year of high school I decided to join the school’s newspaper staff. I had no prior experience‚ but I was quick to volunteer and cover big local events.
